Cost of rechargeable vs non-rechargeable spinal implants for bladder control
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of rechargeable and non-rechargeable sacral neuromodulation (SNM) devices, which are spinal implants that help control bladder function. They want to understand the costs and budget impact of each device, which can help you and your doctor make a more informed choice about which implant might be better for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have bladder problems caused by nerve damage (neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction).
- Standard treatments like medication, catheterization, or physical therapy have not helped you enough.
- You do not have any condition that makes sacral neuromodulation (a spinal implant) unsafe or impossible.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways of doing a nerve test to see if a small device can help you control your bladder better. The device is implanted near your lower spine and sends mild pulses to help your bladder hold more urine and empty better.
This trial is for people with overactive bladder who are already scheduled to receive a nerve stimulator implant (sacral neuromodulation). The study will measure how your body's automatic nervous system responds when the device is turned on, which may help doctors understand how the treatment works.
This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
This trial tests a device that might help men with spinal cord injuries control their bladders. The device works by using the body's own reflexes to empty the bladder, which could reduce the need for catheters.
This study tests a new version of a sacral nerve stimulation device (Axonics model 5101) for people with overactive bladder. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well to reduce sudden urges and frequent urination.
This study looks at how well and how safely a device called InterStim, which uses gentle electrical pulses to help control bladder muscles, works over a long period of time. It aims to see if it helps people with overactive bladder or trouble emptying their bladder.
